[CT] I'm going to be on "Day to Day" on NPR

[Dan Moran]

Doing essays, same as last time -- same producer, JJ Sutherland, who I'm
looking forward to working with again. I'm unclear whether the
connection with Slate means that the pieces will also end up on Slate,
though they will obviously air on the stations carrying the show.

When I know when my pieces will run, and which stations pick up the
show, I'll post it here.

NPR and Slate Magazine to produce weekday radio program Day to Day
premieres in July 2003

WASHINGTON-NPR News and Slate Magazine have announced an historic
collaboration to co-produce a new, one-hour weekday radio newsmagazine,
Day to Day, targeted for midday broadcast on NPR stations. The program
will showcase newsworthy topics with a smart, savvy and spontaneous
approach, and feature a diverse family of contributors from both NPR
News and Slate. Veteran NPR correspondent Alex Chadwick will host Day to
Day, which will originate from NPR West in Los Angeles, and debut on
public radio stations around the country in July 2003.

Day to Day will combine the unparalleled journalistic excellence of NPR
News with Slate's award-winning opinion journalism, offering new ways to
examine issues, explain events, and comprehend the world. Day to Day
will feature personal stories, ideas, beliefs and behaviors to frame
interesting and out of the ordinary topics. Slate's writers and editors
will contribute to the program including Founding Editor, Michael
Kinsley, Editor-in-Chief, Jacob Weisberg and Chief Political
Correspondent William Saletan. 

NPR News and Slate Magazine will collaborate to bring Day to Day to the
radio and the Web. A full-time editor from Slate will join the show's
production staff, and each show will feature contributions from Slate
reporters. NPR and Slate will also co-produce online features for the
program and cross-promote their Web sites, slate.com and npr.org, with
content links.

Day to Day is the first program collaboration NPR has initiated with a
commercial media outlet in its 33-year history. It is also NPR's first
new newsmagazine since Weekend Edition, which began in 1985.

"Day to Day is going to join the voice and written word in a very
powerful way," said Ken Stern, NPR's executive vice president. "Slate's
role as the journal of choice among smart, savvy readers, combined with
NPR's demonstrated power to attract and inspire the most curious,
thoughtful and creative among us will combine to make this new show a
media standout. NPR will also obtain additional value from this
relationship through Slate's commitment to promote NPR and Day To Day
through its award-winning website and through the widely used MSN
Network."

"Slate looks forward to this new venture. NPR's loyal audience and
nationwide reach coupled with Slate's innovative delivery of news and
information is the perfect marriage of radio and the Internet," said
Cyrus Krohn, Slate's Publisher. "NPR and Slate both strive to produce
the highest quality content. Our respective mediums will compliment each
other nicely as we proceed.

Day to Day will become the second daily program to originate from NPR
West since the new studios opened in Los Angeles in November 2002. NPR
West is also the home of The Tavis Smiley Show, a weekday news and
opinion program produced and distributed by NPR. NPR produces more than
280 hours of programming a week, including Morning Edition and All
Things Considered, the second and third most listened-to programs in all
radio.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will provide $1.8 million to
help develop and launch Day to Day.
